  • Methods of, and apparatuses for, producing augmented images of a spine
    Patent number: 10105120
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of producing an augmented image of a spine of a patient is disclosed. The method involves: receiving a first ultrasonic volumetric dataset representing a three-dimensional depiction of anatomical features of the spine in a first volume; instantiating a three-dimensional atlas of at least two vertebrae according to the first ultrasonic volumetric dataset; and causing a display to display a rendering of the first ultrasonic volumetric dataset together with a rendering of the atlas. An apparatus for producing the augmented image of the spine of the patient is also disclosed.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMBEDDED IMAGES IN LARGE FIELD-OF-VIEW MICROSCOPIC SCANS
    Publication number: 20170242235
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for acquiring and combining images captured by a microscope. The method comprises: capturing a new image from the microscope using an imaging device; comparing the new image against a previous image to provide an estimated position of the new image; identifying neighboring key frames of a scan stored in memory based on the estimated position of the new image; comparing the new image to the identified key frames to determine a relative displacement of the new image from the neighboring key frames; and determining a position of the new image based on the relative displacement of the new image. The system includes: a microscope; a camera coupled to the microscope for capturing images through the microscope; and a computing device coupled to the camera, the computing device comprising: a memory; and a processor configured and adapted to perform a method as described herein.
